Where should you park when visiting Glenarm village?
The practical answer
For **Glenarm village**, use the **free council parking** rather than the Castle's visitor car park unless you are actually visiting Glenarm Castle.
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council currently lists:
- **Glenarm Village** – 42 spaces, free, accessible parking
- **Glenarm Harbour** – 40 spaces, free
- **Glenarm South East** – 20 spaces, free
For the village centre, the village car park is the straightforward choice. For the harbour and coastal side, the harbour car park is more direct.
This distinction matters because Glenarm Castle has its own separate seasonal parking system. Use the council lots for an ordinary village/coastal stop and the estate parking for a Castle visit.
